Sect. III. Of discovering the Qualities of Soils. ^ 



2071. The value of soils to the cultivator, is discoverable botanically, chemically, and 

 mechanically ; that is, by the plants that grow on Ihem naturally ; by chemical analysis ; 

 and by exterior and interior inspection of handling. 



SuBSECT. 1. Of discovering the Qualities of Soils by means of the Plants which grow 



on them. 



2072. Plants are the most certain indicators of the nature of a soil ; for while no prac- 

 tical cultivator would engage with land of which he knew only the results of a chemical 

 analysis, or examined by the sight and touch a few bushels which were brought to him, 

 yet every gardener or farmer, who knew the sort of plants it produced, would be at once 

 able to decide as to its value for cultivation. 



2073. The leading soils for the cultivator are the clayey, calcareous, sandy, ferrugineous, 

 peaty, saline, moist or aquatic, and dry. The following are the plants by which such 

 soils are distinguished in most parts of Europe : 



2074. Argillaceous. Tussilago farfara, Potentilla anserina, argentea, and reptans. 

 Thalictrum flavum, Carex, many species. Juncus, various species. Orobus tuberosus,
